Renjun Wangfu is a new house, although the pattern is the unified system of the county king, but can not stand Hongqing money, in the decoration is naturally more sophisticated than other palaces, everywhere full of atmosphere and exquisite, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a beautiful wheel, but because it has just moved in, it has not had time to tidy up, it looks quite messy all around, and there are busy people everywhere who are chattering, the only exception is the inner courtyard study, there is no other, just because the owner of the palace Hongqing is sitting in the study at this time, No one dared to disturb him.

The sun is setting, the day is already dusk, but there is no light in the study, the light is inevitably a little dim, but Hongqing doesn't care, slightly frowning and sitting behind the copy, his fingers unconsciously tap on the desktop, there is a fine light flashing in his eyes from time to time, obviously thinking a little out of his mind, there is no doubt that there is only one problem that can make Hongqing so annoyed, and that is the case of the prison of the Criminal Department - although the holy decree has not yet been officially issued, but Hongqing has already passed the investigation order to the small string alley, There is some relevant news, but there are almost no useful clues, of course, it is no wonder that the "sharp knife", after all, the investigation takes time, and it also requires a certain amount of luck, so naturally it cannot be done overnight, but what Hongqing lacks at the moment is time, if the case cannot be concluded in a short time, the impact will be enough for Hongqing to drink a pot, not to mention that once the old sixteen is squeezed out of the criminal department, the consequences will be even more unbearable.

"Lord Yu, Yin Rongzhu and Lord Rong of Shuntian Mansion are asking to see you outside the gate of the mansion."

Just as Hongqing was pondering, in the sound of footsteps, Li Minxing had already hurriedly turned out from behind the screen, cautiously approached Hongqing's side, and whispered a word.

"Well, this king will personally go to greet him."

Hearing that Rong Zhu had arrived, Hongqing's already frowning brows suddenly wrinkled a little more, and after thinking silently for a moment, he stood up, commanded in a flat voice, and then raised his feet and walked out of the study, going straight to the door of the house......

Outside the gate of the palace, in front of the brand-new wall, an old man dressed in a civil official costume from the first rank is looking at the gate of the palace with anxiety in his eyes, his eyes are full of worry and hesitation, this person is the new Shuntian Mansion Yin Rongzhu - ordinary Shuntian Mansion Yin is only a third-grade official, but Rongzhu is different, he is a special member with the title of Shangshu, the official rank is as high as a grade, speaking of which is already one of the best ministers in the court, but at the gate of the palace like the sea, this identity does not give Rongzhu any psychological advantages, etc., Wait honestly.

To tell the truth, Rong Zhu is actually not very willing to come to Shuntianfu Yin such a messenger, even if this time he entered Beijing to add the title of the secretary of the military department, which is a level higher than the original governor of the military department, but the degree of freedom is obviously much worse, there is no side, the ground water in the capital division is deep, and the high-ranking officials and nobles have gone to the sea, just such a first-class official, it is really not a very extravagant character, there are many things to be managed, and it is possible to stab Lou Zi if he is not careful, no, as soon as something happens at the end of the prison, even with him Rongzhu will not be able to live in peace, and he thinks about it for an afternoon, At the end, I still had some underlining in my heart, so I had to find Hongqing Mansion hard.

"Xiaguan see the prince!"

Rong Zhu was suffering from his own gains and losses, and suddenly saw Hongqing personally greet him out of the gate, and was taken aback, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly grabbed it, and saluted respectfully.

"Elder Rong doesn't have to be polite with Xiao Wang, come, sit in the house."

Without waiting for Rong Zhu's salute to be finished, Hongqing had already greeted him with a smile, and as soon as he raised his hand, he had stopped Rong Zhu's big gift, and he affectionately turned sideways and said hello kindly.

"Lord Wang, please!"

Seeing Hongqing so polite and virtuous, Rong Zhu's worried heart calmed down a little, and he hurriedly retreated half a step, and said politely.

"yes, okay."

Hongqing smiled and nodded, and did not be more polite, turned around and walked towards the house, as soon as he saw this, Rong Zhu hurriedly followed half a step behind, and the two guests and guests were so casually idle, all the way to the study of the inner courtyard, the guests and hosts each sat down, and their own subordinates hurriedly served the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and each retreated, leaving only the guests and hosts to sit opposite each other.

"Rong Lao is the first time to come to Xiao Wang's mansion, hehe, Xiao Wang just moved, everything is still simple, and the greetings are not good, please bear with me."

For Rong Zhu's entry into Beijing, Hongqing has a welcoming attitude, although after he entered Beijing, Hongqing has not met with him in private, but he has expressed his welcome to Rong Zhu through his son Mu Ning, no side, just because Rong Zhu's arrival is of great significance to Prince Cheng's mansion, that is, to curb Long Keduo - the Tong family is too close to the eighth master, and as the governor of the Nine Gates, Long Keduo has always been kind to the fourth master, obviously for Prince Cheng's family, it is a big threat and trouble, Obviously, the old man brought Rongzhu into Beijing, and he had a balance in mind, and this balance was naturally a good thing for Prince Cheng's family, and as for Hongqing, it was the biggest beneficiary, because of this, although the mood was not very good at this time, but in front of Rongzhu, Hongqing still showed the greatest sincerity.

"The prince is polite, the old man suddenly entered Beijing, the ground is not familiar, he is always tired of running, he didn't come early to ask for peace, he shouldn't have come, he came here this time, but he came for help, he was really ashamed."

Although he played it alone in the study, Ke Rongzhu obviously couldn't let go, and apologized first with a slightly red face.

"Rong Lao must not say this, the background of the prison case is complicated, Rong Lao is just suffering from the pond fish, Xiao Wang has his own opinions on this matter, Rong Lao, please relax."

Although the role of the old sixteen in the criminal department is not small, compared to the Shuntian Mansion where Rong Zhu stayed, it is much inferior, there is no side, because the old sixteen went to the criminal department is just mixed with sand, it is not a simple matter to dig up the foundation of the eighth master, or even it is difficult to achieve it, therefore, if someone really wants to make a sacrifice, Hongqing will only choose the old sixteen without hesitation, this has nothing to do with emotional intimacy, it is just a choice out of collective interests, it is out of these considerations, Hongqing did not hesitate to give Rong Zhu a clear answer and assurance.

"Lord, old ......"

As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, Rong Zhu raised his head in disbelief, and he really didn't know what to say for a while-since he learned the news of the outbreak of the prison case, Rong Zhu has been worried that he will become a scapegoat, the reason is very simple, he is inseparable - although he Rongzhu and Hongqing have always had a good relationship, but compared to the old sixteen, it is obviously much worse, if the two must sacrifice one person, Rong Zhu thinks that he will not be able to escape this catastrophe, the reason why he came to find Hongqing, Originally, I didn't think that Hongqing would help me, I just wanted to get some compensation, but I didn't expect Hongqing to give such a guarantee, and under the heartstrings trembling, the whole person was stunned on the spot.

"Rong Lao doesn't need to worry much, just feel at ease to do errands, Huang Ma Fa is very important to Rong Lao, this time I made a special trip to transfer you from Henan, just hoping that you can appease the ground of the Beijing Division, but the security of the Beijing Division is not bad, and Rong Lao will be regarded as the first meritorious hero."

Hongqing is a shrewd individual, and he can easily guess Rong Zhu's psychological changes, but he didn't say anything, but gently explained it, and there was obviously a hint of implication between his words.

"Please rest assured, the lower officials dare not live up to His Majesty's trust, and will never cause the security of the capital to be eroded!"

Rong Zhu is a veteran of Huan Hai, the frightened state did not last long, he came back to his senses in an instant, and after a little thought, he already understood the hint in Hongqing's words, and his face was immediately solemn, and he swore a guarantee, especially in the word "public security", in order to show his understanding - the security of the Jingshi is said to be a multi-headed management, and the Shuntianfu and the Nine Gates Admiral Yamen have jurisdiction, and there are many overlaps between each other's functions, but in the past, the Nine Gates' Admirals (from the first product) were heavy, and all the big and small things pressed the Shuntian Mansion, And now, Rong Zhu is also a member of the first rank, and his status in the court is not at all below the Nine Gate Admiral Long Keduo, and he also has three battalions of troops in his hands, do you really want to fight against the court, although it is still a little worse, but it is not without backhand.

"Well, it's good that Rong Lao can have this heart, you can do things, Xiao Wang can be trusted."

Since Rong Zhu had already expressed his determination, Hongqing had to say something reassuring, which was the proper meaning of the question, but it was not unusual.

"Thank you for your trust, you are busy, and the officials really don't dare to disturb much, there is a copy of the file of Wang Chunlu's murder of husband here, which may be of little help to the prince, and please take a look at it."

Rong Zhu's biggest worry here is gone, and he is in a good mood, but he doesn't dare to stay longer, just because he knows very well that the pressure on Hongqing is extremely great at the moment, and there are many things, and it is not easy to squeeze out time to meet with him, and if he wants to make more trouble, it will be too uninteresting, so he hurriedly got up and resigned, of course, before leaving, he did not forget to leave a copy of the file of Wang Chunlu's case.

"Rong Lao has a heart, Xiao Wang thanked him first, a new home is not finished today, it is really inconvenient, so I will not stay Rong Lao, Xiao Wang will be a host in the future, and Rong Lao will have a good drink."

The beginning and end of Wang Chunlu's case is the key to the conclusion of the case, although Hongqing has learned some news from Xiaochuanzi Hutong, but in the end it is not complete, it is naturally a good thing to have a file to compare at this time, Hongqing will not refuse Rong Zhu's such a coin, smiled and reached out to take the file handed over by Rong Zhu, and praised it with a look of relief, which can be regarded as the end of this meeting.
